STAFFORDSHIRE Police says a new scheme will help develop skills in the use of artificial intelligence across the force.

A trial, run in partnership with Multiverse, began in March and will see a small team learn how to use the technology to “enhance their processes, work practices and support improvements”.

John Bowler, director of digital, data and technology at the force, said the work would help deliver a “toolbox” for staff to use:

> “We recognise that there can be some reticence around the use of AI in policing, which is why this pilot is focused on equipping our staff to use the technology safely, responsibly and in ways that genuinely add value.  
>  
> “From creating simple AI tools to support everyday tasks such as drafting and responding to emails, to helping teams deliver complex processes more effectively, this will be another practical tool in the toolbox for our people – both now and moving forward.  
>  
> “By developing these skills in a safe, structured and ethical way, we can share knowledge and build confidence across the force, strengthening our data and digital capability and helping to build a workforce that is ready for the future.”

Gary Eimerman, chief learning officer at Multiverse, said:

> “For public services like policing, the opportunity to use AI to automate administrative burdens and unlock deeper insights from data is transformative.  
>  
> “By equipping these 15 pioneers with the ability to build and deploy AI tools responsibly, we are ensuring the force remains agile and effective in a digital-first world.  
>  
> “We are proud to support the Staffordshire Police in leading the way for vocational, applied learning in this critical field.”
